Owens said the inauthentic nature of political life and "the great letdown of Trump" cooled her interest in seeking office. Instead, she said she would "strongly get behind" someone like Tucker Carlson if he ran, even offering to help create the campaign dynamic she once had with the late Charlie Kirk.
Owens’ comments were reported by RadarOnline on June 4, 2026; she made clear she prefers backing a candidate to launching her own run, while framing her remarks as both strategic and personal rather than a formal campaign announcement.
